Use the Instructions Tab to Edit

While reviewing student work it is not uncommon that I realize I need to update the instructions. The student work reveals I was not as clear as I thought I was. I like to edit the instructions now so that when I reuse the assignment next year I don’t have to try to remember what needed fixing (and I won’t remember.)

While reviewing student work I am on the “Student work” tab. Notice to the left of that tab is “Instructions.” Click over on Instructions to view the assignment details. (Tip, use the back arrow to go back to Student work rather than click on Student work, this takes you back to the student you were looking at.)

3 Dots

Notice the 3 dots in the upper right of the assignment instructions. This gives you more options. Click on the 3 dots to edit the assignment instructions.

Upload to Drive

Attachments in Google Classroom are not attached to Google Classroom. They are actually added to Google Drive. All “attachments” are really just links to Google Drive. Try it. Click on the paperclip icon when creating an assignment and upload a file. Now go check Recent in Google Drive. There it is!

Schedule Assignments

Google Classroom allows for teachers to plan ahead and build content before sharing it with the students. After creating an assignment, instead of choosing “Assign” click the down arrow to open up a menu of options.

Choose “Schedule” to automatically post the assignment at the chosen time and date.

Add Scheduled Time

Add the date and time that you want your assignment to be posted. The assignment will be available on the teacher’s stream, but the students will be unable to see the assignment until it is posted. The assignment can be modified and updated at any time.

Create Exit Tickets with Google Classroom

Google Classroom makes it easy to create, distribute and collect an Exit Ticket at the end of a class.

Click the + icon and choose “Create question” to create the Exit Ticket.

Write your question in the question space. You can choose whether your question is a short answer or multiple choice.

You can also choose whether or not students can reply to each other. This can lead to a dynamic and engaging. classroom discussion. You also have the option whether or not you will allow students to edit their answers.

Google Inbox

http://inbox.google.com is another way to access your Gmail emails. Unlike Gmail, Inbox identifies what class an email from Google Classroom is sent from. Emails are grouped by class so you can view notifications from just one class rather than them being mixed together.

The best teachers collaborate, but we don’t always collaborate with the same people or in the same ways. Google Classroom has made it easier to stay flexible when we work with other teachers. Now you can transfer ownership of your classes to your co-teachers.

In order to transfer ownership of a class, the new teacher must first be listed as a co-teacher in Google Classroom. From the About tab, find the teacher that you want to make the owner of the class. Click the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the teacher tile. This will open up a drop down menu. You can choose to make this teacher the owner of the class or remove this teacher from the class.

Once you click “Invite”, the new teacher will receive an email to confirm the change of ownership. You will remain the owner until the invitation is accepted.
